Mayor S. A. York representing the city,
Town Agent Reynolds representing the town,
and General S. E. Merwin representing the
monument committee and the citizens, were
appointed an executive committe by whom
all contracts for expenditures of monies shall
be approved and by whom all bills shall be
audited.
General Merwin stated that the committee
appointed to go to Hartford to get a bill
passed in the legislature to the effect of hay
ing the National Guard parade on ''Monu-
mental dedication day. had done its work,
and that the bill had already passed the
House, and would without doubt pass the
Senate.
Hugh Daley asked if it had posi-
lively been decided that the monument
would be ready for dedication on June II as
intended.
General Merwin said ne had an interview
with the contractors last week and they as
sured him positively that the monument
would be finished that day and in all prob
abilities on May &c. as the contract called
for General Merwin also stated that the
Putnam monument would not be finished
before September, and SO its dedication
would not interfere with their dedication.
He then moved that June II be appointed
the day set aside for the dedication of the
monument. Mr.. Daley seconded the motion
and the question was put by Mayor York and
passed, thus settling the day.
Mr.. Hugh Daley: think that we should
have five hundred copies of the exercises of
the day and the names of the committees
printed at once and distributed where
needed.
Mayor York suggested that as more com
mittees would be appointed shortly it would
be best to wait before printing them.
Capt. Lovejoy-I would amend Mr.. Daley 3
motion by making it five thousand copies in
stead of five hundred so that they may be
sent to selectmen and the like all over the
State. This motion was seconded and
passed.
Mr.. Dailey-I think it would be advisable
to appoint special committee of ladies to
visiting guests.
General Merwin thought it would be good
idea and would consider it later.
Mayor York and Hugh Daley wished to
urge the matter, that this dedication was a
very important event, and that all the mem
bers of the committees should attend the
The meeting then adjourned sub
ject to the call of the chairman.
